>ashes of creation released>/v/ had zero threads about itWhat the fuck? So, is this the promised MMORPG or not? IF NOT WHAT MMO SHOULD I START PLAYING IN 2026
>>729335065>ashes of creation
>ashes of creationYour MMO options for 2026 are the same they have always been: OSRS and WoW.

>>729335065Wait is it the one funded by one guy who had his autistic vision to make a fully player-shaped world or whatever
>>729337994As far as I've seen in the steam reviews, this game is too grindy and the fact that towns are user generated and user rules makes them completely mediocre and the same across all of them, which would have been solved by making them static so they can be made to look different, have their own quirks and designs.I read that they're supposedly working on an overhaul but wouldn't put my money on it fixing the issues.

>>729337994The entire goal of AoC is to recreate Archeage during its peak.
is this the game that costs 200 dollars and also has a subscription
>>729340438except it's still worse than Archeage after X years because their glorious visionary leader is actually kind of an idiotAshes is amazingly bad in its current state. It's absolutely sickening how much attention/success it has garnered despite its accumulated flaws and red flags. It just proves that the problem with modern MMOs aren't just developers, but also players that eat this shit up.
>>729337234the same reason we all played MMOs when they were good>we had no lives
>>729338258From what i've heard the actual gameplay is decent but there's nowhere near enough content to tget to max level without fuck loads of grinding.
>>729335065the genre's fuckin dead brolike it or not the only games worth playing are wow, OSRS, and final trantasy
>>729342127How could have they been like 8 years (?) already developing it and still don't have enough quests to finish at max level?I would suppose that would be one of the priorities, wouldn't it?
>>729342378no no see that's a feature, getting to max level has prestige or something
>>729342504Being an sweatlord try hard is now prestigious?
>>729337234Because my only friend is a schizophrenic overweight woman from the other side of the world who will start threatening to kill herself if I don't log in after work.
>>729342127>actual gameplay is decentIf you mean combat then it's the best praised thing. But everything around it is bad and undeveloped.Their class system isn't even implemented, their classes aren't balanced, even their latest class the Summoner has inherent flaws they didn't foresee. The summon AI is dogshit, but besides that, because Summoners are supposed to be playable as all roles in their enforced Trinity system, it means they need ALL kinds of equipment, whereas a Tank (holy shit, literally naming a class "Tank") needs only one.Their economy, crafting, and gathering are absolutely piss-poor. They even fucked up gathering (it's supposedly fixed now) as a system earlier this year because respawns were timed + the material quality was fixed. So people would camp and time legendary resource spawns (which is supposedly intentional, so people would congregate and "fight over it") - until they changed it because it turns out no one is going to fight over it and its just abused by people with a clock alarm. Or the plug-in that let people know what quality the resource was before even touching it, so people would just run around the map and only mine valuables. Or how making 1 nutsack pouch takes 20 gold just because.
>>729342623it is to the sheep who funded this slop, yeah
>>729342734>which is supposedly intentional, so people would congregate and "fight over it">pvp centric mmoDOA.
>>729343084nooo you don't understand bro>camps low level zonesworld pvp is peak>runs from any fight he isn't guaranteed to winonly casual carebears disagree>gets ganked by Chang and his bot squad and uninstalls
>>729335065Because after ~ 9 years they have maybe 20% of a game. And the game is dog shit for solo and casual players, which as much as some hate to admit, that's like 75% at least of MMO players nowadays. This game, if it even ever releases, will have a tiny population after the 1st month hype dies down.
>>729335065I kinda wanted to try it out, but then I saw the lame shill threads that would only get a couple of replies and decided against it
not actually released you retard, it's only early accesslurk moar before postinglike alot moar, you don't even know basic gaming lingo like early access apparentlyalternatively concider killing yourself
>>729335065Does it have quest markers or transmog beyond the cosmetic store bullshit?
>>729344479yeah I'm sure the game will be good when it comes out, just like every other early access game :)
